Tax Officers To Visit
Local Business Firms
AUSTIN •• Comptroller Bob
Bullock alerted Texas business
men Monday to begin looking
for a friendly visit from a
comptroller’s enforcement offi
cer sometime during the next
nine months
The comptroller said the
enforcement officers from his
40 field offices will fan out
across the state with the goal of
offering personal assistance to
each and every Texas business
A testing of the canvassing
program in July showed that 19
percent of taxpayers contacted
required assistance or needed
permits, he said
“The theme of this project is
taxpayer assistance." Bullock
said “We have found that in
many instances only personal
contact can eliminate errors
that, eventually prove costly
both to the taxpayer and the
comptroller's office."
He said his employees, armed
with smiles and packages of
taxpayer information will be
knocking on doors with the
hopes of:
•* -• providing education to
taxpayers:
-• making sure every business
is properly permitted:

Few Hunters
But Lots Of
Law Violations
Although there were not so
many hunters, the violations
were many That's the story
from Frank Dickerson, regional
direc tor for law enforcement of
the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department when talking about
the white winged dove hunt
September 3-4
Many hunters this year
cancelled their trip to the Rio
Grande Valley to hunt white
wings This was probably due to
the proximity of Hurricane
Anita and reports which filtered
out of the Valley that bird
populations were down
Dickerson said most of the
hunters were locals He also
estimated that arrests and
cases filed equalled, or may
have even surpassed, those
made in a three^iay season last
year From 60 to 70 percent of
the violations were for shooting
from a public road
In most areas whitewings
were scarce, but mourning
doves were plentiful
